The Need

OUR KIDS HAVE THE POWER TO TRANSFORM THE OZARKS

Howell County

by the Numbers

Our area’s children are facing significant challenges. Specifically in the Ozarks, divorce patterns, children living in single-parent homes, and grandparents raising grandchildren are very prevalent issues. Our mission is to come alongside these kids by offering a Christ-centered mentoring program, nurturing the whole child - body, mind, and soul.
